Congress requires the Supreme Court to hear appeals in some areas of election law, and Wisconsin officials have filed such an appeal.
In “Two Minutes with Mitch” radio personality Mitch Henck gives his two cents after a report that President Donald Trump revealed classified information to Russia.
With that surface water rights’ giveaway program in the books, Team Walker can turn this election season to its groundwater gifting – – passed by the Legislature with 50 million reasons, as the campaign-donation tracking Wisconsin Democracy Campaign just documented.
Continued expansion of this program only stands to benefit our state and those living with dementia and their families.
Under Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s proposed budget, Wisconsin’s prison system would receive more money over the next two years than the entire University of Wisconsin education system.
New York state legislators are considering a bill that would allow police at accident scenes to immediately check on whether a driver was texting just before the accident. If privacy concerns can be met, it’s an idea Wisconsin legislators might want to consider.
Unfortunately, there are some officers who never make it home at the end of their shift. Each year around this time, we recognize National Police Week, in order to honor the men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice while protecting their communities.
In many ways anti-anti-Trumpism mirrors Donald Trump himself, because at its core there are no fixed values, no respect for constitutional government or ideas of personal character, only a free-floating nihilism cloaked in insult, mockery and bombast. Needless to say, this is not a form of conservatism that Edmund Burke, or even Barry Goldwater, would have recognized.
Trump’s dismissal of Comey was reminiscent of Nixon’s “Saturday Night Massacre” – the firing of Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox.
Parsing the views of legal experts and media insiders has uncovered reasons on both sides for Trump’s decision to fire FBI director James Comey. Strangely, not a single one has anything to do with Clinton emails.
Comey’s firing was not predicated on his handling of the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server, which Trump totally applauded at the time and used to great political advantage. Trump’s assertion for Comey’s sudden departure is nothing more than another damnable lie.
In “Two Minutes with Mitch” radio personality Mitch Henck gives his two cents on the Trump administration’s Russia-gate controversy.
Almost half of entire tax cut goes to top 4%; poor get tax increase.
This matter has been allowed to slide, and deserves greater attention now that its damaging consequences have moved from the condition and usefulness of our roads to the state budget to the very procedures that are supposed to keep state government operating transparently and effectively.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Kanavas and Chvala, preview the state GOP convention and next year’s U.S. Senate contest. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and Michael Best Strategies.
If you follow politics, it’s hard to miss John Kasich these days, much harder than when he was the last candidate standing against Donald Trump in the 2016 Republican presidential primary.
The behind-the-scene details that led to the Iran Deal are about to be the subject of a congressional investigation. At the center is the question whether the Obama Administration sacrificed American national security to ensure it had a foreign policy legacy.
Democrats can simultaneously condemn actions of Comey while still finding Trump’s actions deplorable.
Comey became a political figure and was bound to go. But Trump got the timing wrong.
Refusing to address the transportation funding shortfall is the least responsible decision. It is not more responsible to borrow money and to cripple Wisconsin’s infrastructure and ability to compete in the global economy.
